I From Whitney'a Republic for February MY flRANDFATHFR'B RECOLLECTION OF THR REVOLUTION. My memory does not serve me sumVicntly now, In enable me to locn'e facts; but t 'nonel, ntlerwiinUfien-oral Morgan, was dispatched by (ieueral Washington oti a very important mission, lhat required grent Inet, eiteruv, nuil speed. The purty wucntiiposed of ihirtv permitis, cIiosimi for ilieir well-tried bravery, tleelneas nf foot, and knowledge nf the surrounding country, one ot whom was my griiuoininer; noun waa particularly eujoiiietl upon Colonel Morgan not to lire uniler any circumstances, unless it was tor unavoidable sell du tenco, at it would have betrayed (ieiiernl Wndiington's position, (loucrul Washington was moving secretly upon the Urtliall army, and had planned one t if those bountiful surprises with which he so often astonished their skillful leaders, nml Colonel Morgan's duty wan to ascertain something which 1 have now forgniirn, but which was neresmiry lor the perlecliou of liia designs. The little band moved noiselessly from ihe American camp, tmasod the pickets, thendvniice sentinels, and disni'ieari'il in tho depth of the nearest forest toward the Uriiinh lines. Threading deep delilos, crawling along behind llio stunted bin he in barren plnres, wading through swamps nml ever si reams, nnd obeying their lender fiiiihhdly, who gave his co mm nnd a in a wisper, nnd aoineiiiues merely a sign, they ai rived al a point from which went centred their operations; and, closely concealed in n secret place, well known lo the party, and within imiakci -shot of the enemy's out (Mists, they watched every opHiriiinily to carry out (heir designs, and liually h it with the snme secresy, having billy accomplished their mission, Colonel Morgan lind renin led about three fourths or the way to ihe American heud-qunrters, and, feeling secure Itoin any surprise, had lelt the bushes, and taken to the public nnid, and was hurrying on in order lo reach dm camp ho lore night-fall, when won) was passed Irotn lliennr thai a party of red -con is was fob lowing. Immediately every man took to a tree, exa mined his priming, nml gnxod fixedly on llio advancing pnrty. Colonel Morgan scrutinized ibem nalhey mine on towards him, nod found thai ihey were about fitly in number, and were dragoons, with several lb-Id nth- cers nt llu'tr bend. I nun Ihe manner ol ilieir riding he concluded they were not aware of his presence but, having beard of the position of Jeueral Wnsliitui ton, were on their way to reconnoitre mid lenrn his plans. The men on leaving Ihe road hail taken to tin trees on each side, nnd as the horsemen m ared, betray (raved a feverish inclination In let fly nt I hem. The commands of (ieneral Washington hud been Inld I hem mid tlli'V Would hnve obevrd tit nil hnyalila. hut still instinctively each man leveled bis rille, steadied it ngainat a tree, over some tog, or reaied it in the crotch ol a bush, wllli the eye stemlily on tlie forward sight, nnd moving Ine hinty gently aroiiml as the ad-vaiicitiir f the Hi itish obliged a change of position In bring die rille in range. The party ol horsemen mine d nailing lorwnnl wilh uutck pace, their beniitilul inn forms nnd polinhod swords In strong con I rust with the I altered .dolhes and rualy rilles of Ihe rangers, enliven ing the landscape with their brilliant colors, and breaking the silence of the seeming solitude wilh dat- leruig of hoof's nnd voice in merriment. Colonel Morgan watcleil ilo-m with a look so intense, one might have thought he looked itito their very benrls ami told ilieir doom; and as they came nearer ami nearer, while ihe memory of his country's wroio's and "uttering came crowding on Ida mind, he scowled wilh a look ot detiaure and haired, thnt showed how deeply he felt fur every wound iullicled utHin her. He bunted to take vengeance upon them, but thn ftprrss order of Washington, not lo tire, rang in his ears, and he was powerles. He cast hit eves around upon hi lit-tla party ; a semUirtle uf bUvk-lmrrolwl rillvi pointW Uioir Iihir mii7.1on Inwnriln Die ndvunciitp Rritiali ; tlm men itiiuj mill na ilfiiili, and (lioir Inres wcropnlo with HiiHpfliitli-d duaire; licit n foot in lived, nor an ytdnnp-ed ita Intdiet; there oenied to be no tirt-alh, lint llio in tetiRH fju.e, like a atud uf glnsa, whr iixud Hliil ritd. At evury ati'ji tliey ndvaurcd, and tta their vmci'. were hctird luudtT ntid mm-e dinlincily, ntid Hxpremioni in contempt of Mia "Yankee" came from ilieir lips, ottrh wuril seemed to aear into lite viry heurt uf Cul-nnel Morf.'nn. Ho had lii linnd upon a miutll roncli-aliell tlmt hunt; ly lii nido. with wliirh he ulwuyn f'iive I ho order tu lire, and liia fingers appeared to ilch, na ho clasped it more tightly. Tlie aieiiu grew mure and more exciting ; nnd, an he c.nt liia cyea over I J in little parly, nnd limn of (lie Jon oh of his nminlry'a oppreaaors, hardly could the orders ol' WuHhington withhold him Irom giving tlm fulttl command. Kvory man tired according tu nn inidoratoml rule, danger, never waite their lire by sevural aiming al thosiune murk, but, by a certain understanding, each aelcrti hii man. The party nf Bntiali hud now op-prone bed to within fifty yardi, and were all in lair view. Col. Morgan's excitement hail not in (lie lenat abated, nml the turn atill Rtnnd inotionleas, and with their deadly rilK-a atill pointed towHrda their foes. Their voice were perfectly diaiinct, nnd probably they might have been allowed to pat by iniiiioleHtetl, had not one of the officer, with a aneoring Inogli, Raid Hoinelhing derogalory to the trnlh nnd justice of the American people anil their came, when Colonel Morgan, no lnngor able to contend with his feelings, ipiickly applied the bIidII to hid lipa, and, almost simultaneously wilh tho note that rang from it, burnt the shrill, 'deathly cream from the ritlei, an if lirud by one man. Reloading instantly, another fire was poured into them, canning additional denlruotinn. Thirty mid' diet wore emptied, and thirty frightened nnd riderless horaon scoured through the woods, or, whirling, daah-ed in among the survivors, adding more cotilusion to llio panic. When those who had not been killed recovered somewhat, they immediately pot spurs to ea-cnpei hut the unfailing hall followed them, and but lew escaped to carry back the sad tidings of llinmnuc-eeasfiil ndventuro. After all had hecoino quiet, and the excitement passed Oolonel Morgan recollected with ngony the command of Washington, and he bowed liia head, grieved and ashamed; and I he men, feeling for iho commander, nnd knowing the exactness with which flenernl Washington always required the fulfillment of nn order, relieved themselves by starting in different directions to catch Ihe horses, and gathering the other booty together, prepared to return to caoip, only wailing the order to march. Without opening his lips, Morgan gave the signal and, on renching the camp, despatched nn ollirer to re port lo hend oiinrlers, and then sat down, apparently overwhelmed wilh the burden of his feelings. The; ollirer returned, hut bearing wilh him no word from tlie i mnernl ; nml an hour or more pased, leaving mm in deeper suspense. He arose and paced before his tent with uneasy and irregular steps. At length nn aid de-ramp stood before him, nnd, respectfully touching his bat, presented thn compliments of (jenernl Wii'hington, requesting his presence at his quntlors. Without a moment's hesitation ho started, anxious aa any brave man would be, to meet whatever should come, nnd, if necessary, sutler for his dereliction of doty. Ho slopped before the (ieneral's tetlt, heatd his name announced, nnd the order, "hid him enter, repented by that clenr mnjeMic tone, which, once heard, never whs forgotten. And in a moment more, as the curtain wns drawn aside, ho stepped forward, ami atom boldly up in the presence of I he grent commander, determined to acknowledge his fault like a man, mid receive his reprimand also. Hut what was his as-Innishuieilf, instead of seeing on the (ienernl's lace the cold, stern expression lhat always awed nil to silence in his presence, and entirely forbade the least liimiliari-ty, keeping every one at n respectful distant e, he beheld that plenaaiit smile which sometimes overspread his face, like the sun, when it suddenly lights up some motinlaiii, nnd which the belles of I lint day thought ilieir utmost endeavors well paid for, if they could w in but one from him in the course of an evening. At I he same time, rising from Ins seat, lie stepped townrds Colonel Morgan, shook him warmly by the band, and said, "Colonel, I have, for tisquiteau unnaiinl Ihing, n good supper; and 1 have sent lor you to enjoy it wilh me, and puss the evening over a botilu of wine." Colonel Morgan sat down wilh a light heart. 1 lie load that had weighed so heavily upon him, seeming sullicieut to crush linn to the enrlh, fell ami was forgotten It was lute in the night before they parted ; the conver nation wns animated ; no allusion whatever wns made to the occurrence of the day ; and Colonel Mot gait, always referred wilh particular pleasure to the evening he spent with (ieiiernl Washington.

Mut when drunk he wn n demon inrarnate; and going home in a furv, he would beat his wife, abuse his children, nnd erform all other acts and deeds which common drunkards do iu such case. A change took place which for awhile turned tin current of affairs, and altered somewhat thn the hiih- rto unvarying misery of It's limily. The Meihodiats find a small society at K , nnd at a quarterly ineeiiU' some years nco a ureal revival look place, ncore ainiieia ol all classes were lirougHI into Hie church nnd converted to ton). It wn one ul Hnate revival which make a marked impression on society.

No wonder she shouted, ns she olten did when sholold in class or love fesst the simple story her salvation. She was a Iwauiilnl girl.

Haifa year lind gone since this great change was wrourht, and still ihe skies over Louisa were bright; bnl clou 's were uallirrina.nnd soon (he green, beauti ful world in which she dwelt was to be blackened, scorched, blighted, and she, a wauderttig, lost one, to do raving aniiu its curse. I would be glad to atop here, ami leave thnt family in the enjoyment of hope, and peace nod pardon, but I feel that the truth ought to be told in Hns cuhb, and sorrowfully proceed to my task. B. bad long shunned the drum-Nhop. No inducement hud been sullicieut to lend to the fntiil stall where cruel men murder souls us well us bodies. He became strong in his self-confidence, after months of trial, and al hut yielded so fnr ihe rigid determination of mind as to go for some trifling ariiclo to the denihful den of Lleelzubub's hated minion. He went too far. He went to the charmed circle; he went from the guardian an-gei which kept him; he dragged himself from under the shadow of tho Almighty's wings, and fell within the bluck, baleful nhudo of Krohus; he wont to the gates of perdition; ho went to the mouth of tho pit; he climbed to the bit ruing crater's edge; he mud o a truce with his arch enemy, and forgot that ho wns a Christian ; he took only one drum only one only ono cup Irom the demon's hands one cup of burning poison one lethean draught one long draught of liquid woe and wrath; ho was ruined, murdered, dam tied. I need say no iimro about his downward course. Ho went from home in the morning a kind, Christian futher; he came to lhat homo at night a fool, a brute, a fiend. The change in Kdou was scarcely greater. The tnuisiliuu wns ho viojent that poor Louisa lost her self possession in the bitter grief id that frightful night, when she loll herself to be again a drunkard' ulaughtcr. Sho finally sought relief from the blasphemous curoii-sals of her father's house, in matrimony. Shu had loved a gay young man ; she now married him. A few months revealed to her shuttered mind the fact that her husband was a drunkard not an every day drunkard, but a tippler. She knew too well Ihe course of such a man, and day and night sought to turn from the path of ruin herliUHluitid. Hut, alas! he was ton far gone, and ull her pleadings only uliotiu-ted his now blunted alfections ; nnd at lust, poverty-stricken, brutalized, and vicious, ho fled fro in his wretched home nnd left his helpless wife with an infant to stem Ihe raging storm now bnrs'ingaround her. What could she do now 7 What refuge could she find T Kite must either work for n Biibaiatelice for herself and child, with feeble health nnd broken heart, or she must return lo tho companion of her abused niolh-er, and share that abuse for ihe sake of bread, Necessity forced her to the taller alternative, nnd she was once more at home. (), what a homo! No altar there to (Jod in secret; no pence, except when the raving mailman mid infurinlo beast, her father, wuh iron) homo or BNleep. In tho ynwning abyss of jiilempcrnncn had sunk nil her hopes nml hiippinesa, nnd I lie hell-invented beverage had destroyed nil she pmed on enrlh. Again and again she heard her father's cures pour on her pious mother's head, Tium utter lime she seen his brawny list slrike her mother's loved face. More than once had she beheld thai mother's bleeding form, and heard mt mother's wail. Murder, lust, blasple-tny, rage, horrible brutality these were her daily companions. It sha sought relief in prayer, her moiher sobbing m another room Would n rouse her nature nnd tear her heart. (irossty deceived, villainounlv abandoned, cruelly abused, and such n dwolling place, she nt lust sunk uu- T her accumulated sull'eriiii:, and every smile was gone ; anil now moody silence marked her demeanor. Sho spoke but little, seemed ill deep thought, as if pondering some mighty enigma, or planning some su- lernatiirnl deed w inch would deliver Iut irom the tires turning around her. Kucb recurring day mnde her prospects more iilootnv: and now she lliougbt of defending her mother from Hie attacks nl her brutal father, ami of doing something which would relieve her, nt least for a time, Irom the mi"hiy burden weiehing on her heart. One day in a drunken lit her fid her had as usual, bruised and beaten r mother in u moat shocking manner. Tlie poor uirl ilelirious now with one consuming desire of revenge nnd deliverance, gazed fixedly on the loved being who lind always been her liieiul her only eaithly hu nd and, while her clenched hands, her gnashing teelh, her wild look, made her words ominous, said, in a sub dued yet reaolule tone, " I will kill hint if ho bents mother ngain."

Tho Missouri river, from the mouth of the Niobrnrn, (which stream is also known by the name ofEau-qui-coiir.or Ituuuing Water.) down to tho mouth of tho Kansas, crowds its waters against llio bhitla on the Nebraska shore, and from ihem o only occuiouidty shoots them off to the left, to take a turn through (lie broad bottoms which sirotch along upon tho opposite side. What are called bluffs may be, in other words, do-scribed an chaios of knolls and hills, presenting to the river, or the bottoms, whichever chnnco to lie nt their feet, abrupt face, which at some points are acclivities of several hundred feet. On the Iowa and Missouri side of the rivor, the bluffs nre mere cbiy-hills, standing at distances of from two to ton miles from tho brink of the stream; but these rise in picturesque forms, and wear a covering of prairie grass, which adds y really to tho beauty of ihe scenery. Tho bluffs on ihe Nebraska side ol the liverliave below tho soil stratus of rock, coal, clay, sand and gravel ; nmt those stund up more in the usual hill form lluaii the bluil's of tho opposite shore. Except the bottoms along the rivers, the lands of Hie territory ull lie upon an elevation, in some part of several hum I red feetabovo the surface of ihe Missouri river. From the bluffs on the rivor, the hind recede in what i called rolling prniries; and these rolling or heaving forms of the hind nro rendered irregular only where iheyuro cut through by tho water courses, mid wherothuroure tables, which nro occasionally spread out upon Ihe loftiest points. Such is the entire laceol llmonsleiH part ol the territory, and to this eastern purl the fertility ol Ihe anil if mostly confined. , Distaal about three hundred mites west of the Missouri river, the rolling or heaving form of the hind censes, nnd tlie face of the country becomes a plain, wilh hem nnd there a sand hill, nud this continues to the foot of the Kocky Mountains; ami us the hind settles lulo a plain, the rich and deep soil censis lo exist, and vegetation becomes sparse. Along tho Missouri river, mid throiiglioui mo wi i gion of tlie rolling prairie, the face of the country is one of reuiarkiiblo beauty. Everywhere Hie observer is delighted with llio splendor of tlm landscape, and tho grandeur nnd picturesque character of Ihe scenery, jl Has not, However, tlie wiui granoeiir 01 that of Oregon ntid California, nor has ittheawe-uinrli-ed and ntriUing character of tin scenery ol New Mexico and IJlah, hocausB there are but few hills within the limits id 1 he territory, ami no iqoiinlaius, except those which hound it on 1I10 west. Imi Hie scenery f the Nebraska is the beautiful, ihe lovely, Ihe ph:- tiirosquo nnd the agreeable. Nebraska is emphatically a prairie country, nud a paucity of timber which exists throughout ihe lerritory Hie only drawback that rests upon it. I lie prniries are limbertesH trncls of liiml covered with grass, which give them the diameter ot natural meadows and pas ture grounds. 'I he grasses ol tho prairie are ol lour kinds. The first is called reed-arass, and its growlh conlini'd to tho bottoms. It is the earliest lo come rth in the spring, nnd it Is ihe most hardy of the pranie grasses; but its slnlks are tall nud woody 111 re, nml its kuves coarse, and it nilords but utile nu triment to the animal stomach, when grown to maturity. Ita seed-hentla nro unlike any of the common iltivated grnins ol (he continent. A second kind (ol Inch I here is but a sparse growth, ) is found along me ilues of uroves of limber, and occasionally in the blulla, and this bears a leaf and iecd-hcnil resembling barley. A third kind (of which there nro but small quantities to bo found,) has a resemblance to rice lioin 111 leal and seed-Head. Hut ol these two kiiiuh raises there are not enough to be seen growing up- which lo found mi opinion nn in (heir value when I for iinstiiiiice or ns liny for caitle. The fourth kind, and that which is the prevailing grass of tho rolling prniriesatnl dry bottoms, resembles mis, linth tu lenl and seed-head; and ns Ihe Indiana are mi acknowledged degenerate itico of Asiatics, do- cemieii irom emigrants introduced upon 1110 i'aciiic mast of America at somo curly period, so hnve we nson to believe that 1 fin prevailing prairie grasses are the degenerate remains of the 011 1 a, 1 ire and barley introduced and cullivaled upon Una continent oy me same early emigrant Irom Asia, and which, by the perntiou of cliuiuto and llio elements, have acquired perennial nails, ntid const d 10 luoihico pcriect seed.

For pasturage ihe prnrie grass is equal lo nny of the iltivated grasses, only nud excepting lis liability to be allected by llio front. A late front in the spring cut low 11 the young prairie grass naif llio snmewerenats; and an eaiiy frost in theauiumn destroynihe life of the prairie grass, lenl mid slidk, ascerlainly nml elleclual- ns it Ibesnmo were parcels ol culliwttcd oals mid barley, which had not advanced lo (he putting forlhof (tie M-cd-h'-nds. Alter the brat treat ol die closing Reason, there is nothing of vegetable life remaining tonny part of the prairie grass but with the roots, which tire reniiial. Nor will the prairie grnaa hear close feeding. II a lii be oncinaod and iiaatured by a drove ol entile or flock of sheep, for two years, there will be but Ut ile or none of the prairie grass remaining. In such ases whnt is called blue grass usually makes its up aratico, mid tnltes the place ol the prairie grass. (Jr the gens, ho closely led without enclosure, (wnicli sometimes the case where the dried prairie class is tint hurund oil until the summer lias commenced, nud growth of young grass cornea up afterwards and at tracts the cattle from other portions of the prairie where the grnis has hecomo coarse nml bnrah,) I ho like results will be produced. It is apparent to the observer. Hint Hie prairies have, nt some previous lime, been as densely limbered nny 01 tlie lorest portions ot Ihe continent, and (tint the annual burning of Ihe dried grnan on the prniries, which has been continued by the Indians for time immemorial, hn been tho sole cause of ihe destruction of tho timlmr. Wherever the grass prevails there is no timber; but when ihe grass is destroyed tho limber oines up nl once, nnd grows thiillily. As tho crass crowds upon a 11 rove or slrip of tim ber, the timber recedes. The grass once grown ngainat the roots of 11 tree, its lirst burning heals and kills the linrk, ol a surface Irom ono lo several leet in ircu 111 fere nee, of lhat portion of llio ireo which mny chance to be within reach of the flumes of the burning grass. In a short time ihe dead bark dries up and (alls off, leaving naked that portion of the wood of Inch It was the inloguineiil, to lie dried by the sun uml weather; ami llio next burning ol the dried grass d tho prairie sets hn lo tho dried part, nml thus cause ie tree to bo partially severed I nun ine roots; nnd lien tho burned portion of ihe lrc airain fired n I every burning of ihe dried grass of tho prairie, until Hie burned part ol the tree is so weakened that tho wind blows it down, when it becn.-nes wholly dried, and at tho next burning of the dried grass nf tlm prmrio it ts consumed, fly this process Hie tinnier is atroved, nud it may He an id lo be driven over the hi olt's nud into the rivers and the smaller streams ; ami nee the only wooded tortious of ihe lenitory nre the bloll. where Hie acclivity prevents Hie ntvimiula- tnm of aoil sufficient lor a ibmo growth of grass, and the inlandsaiid margin nl the rivers and leaser streams, where the water impedes both tho growth ot ihe grass nml the raging of the lire when the dried grass is burned. Throui-hout the whole territory of Nebraska, it in true, there is a deficiency ol timber; but tiiu quantity winch now more exists, by mi economical use, may bo made quite atdlicient for a population of half a million, and bo rendered equal for all requisite purposes of such loimlntion, until timber ran bo grown in aiiundam which will only minim a few years lo clfoct. The timber on the hums, and along (lie margin ol some ol the smaller streams, is composed ol red oak wluto oak, bur oak, hickory, linden or bass wood, w ild hnrrv. birch, ash. syemoro, elm ol two kinds, hack- berry, black walnut, hlm'k locust or colfee bean tree, butternut, and now ami men an irouwomi ami a dog wood sniilitiL'. nud in some place a few cedars. On the islands in the Mi-iMiuri river the limber is almost sclnsivelv of cotton wood titnl willow; nml on Hie islands in the Nebraska river the limber is of cotton wood, willow, mid cedar.

Humblest nliout Constantinople There has been such a halo of romance thrown around the whole tinst by a certain class of writers who sec every thing through the spectacles of genius, (some times very largo spectacles, that magnify lo a wonder- ill extent; sometimes common quizzing glasses;, Highly colored; often very crooked glasses, with bubbles iu the centre.) that ihe bare idea of u Harem is enough lo ret one off in ecslacies. Who is there with a spin k of enthusiasm that can approach Constantinople lor the first time without a palpitating heart nud a thrilling anticipation of something exirimidinary, something to lift up the soul above this ear lb lo a realm ol houris; not that he can recall any particular pasango in any thing he has read lo conjure up such visions, but theessenco of the whole, bubbling up through the memory, gives a tone to one's uspirtilioiis for the beautiful. All tho fervid imagery of ,alln Itookh ; Ihe fascinating splon-dor of Aiiastasina ; tho glowing eloquence of Km hen, fill the mind somehow or another with extraordinary anticipations; a glimmering 01 something unearthly; u forentiadowiiig ol Paradise. Ihe Harem becomes a chief ornament in this 1'nradise, nmt the perfumes of llowers, and the cooling spray of fountains, uud all the witcln ry of beauty and innocence reclining on soft I'ersinn rugi, fiivoluubirily crowd upon the mind. Ev ery yanhmack is supposed to cover the features of a (iul- tieyer or a IJiiuii; every grated window to shed light upon nn inner world ot beauty, the living and breath-1 tug realization of lhat voluptuous picture in Don something, (what a bore it is to forget names ; but you know that 1 don't rend mron,) that scene of tho sleeping beauties of ihe Harem, where innocent maiden dream of apples, and hoes, uud butterflies, and such things. IN ever was an tiiiforhuinte nduurer ol the sex worked tqi to such n pitch of eiithusinittic expectation ns your friend of ihe present writing. It was a purely I'lato. nic devotion to beauty, of course. Tho first thought upon touching Ihe romantic soil of Sbuubrul was of yashmachi, and dark Hushing eyes, and lorinsof angelic ntotir. ror a while I thought seriously ol shutting my eyes (he very first petticoat I should descry fluttering ill the breeze j but eyes are iiidiNpeiisnbln where tlie Artmi are continually bringing their buttering rums to bear on one's head. At. Inst a bevy of chattering damsels loomed 1111 in tliedistauce bearing down toward me. flood gracious, wind voicea! Tlie croaking of ravens would have been music to the coarse, masculine sounds that distracted mv ear. It was the tnosi barbarous gobbling if gutter.tls I have ever heard. Hlai'k eyes there were, to he sore, black enough nil round, even umler-nenlh; which was rather a dirty sort of blackness. I u yanhmaexs dropped necub'iiiiilly, ns tliey generally do when the observer is n Frank, and there lire no Turks near. Every vealigoof eiichniiliiieut vanished in a moment, I hero was not n single passable lace in the crowd. Til -ir features were coarse and sensual: the teeth disgustingly dark ; the costume slovenly mid unbecoming. As if conscience-smitten, nfter having exposed so much henuty to iididel eyes, they hastily drew the covering over their mouths, leaving the up per part 01 tne inco partially visible, and altogether denuding the breast. After they hod passed I turned ton ditleretit view, iu the faint hope of discovering some compensating attraction. Tho case was now still worse. As they drew up thetr loose clonks, and gathered around them sundry highly-colored nnd tawdry drapery, tho names of which it is impossible to remember, their bare legs glintened 11 lid ei neat h. buried over the ankle in yellow, slip-shod boots and slippers ; ami limy wumiien over the rough stones very much like n parcel of dm ks, making such awkwnril attempt at progress that it was quite distressing to see them. Surely the Turkish boots for females must have been devised by some clover fellow, who hnd ill view ihe imposibiliiy of their running away in thorn. It would bo unfair, perhaps, to judge of the whole sex from these specimen ; so I reserved my final jmlg-incut until I should see something more of Turkish beauty. Since then I have seen every variety (hut cmi between beyond llio sacred precincts of the Harem, from the highest to the lowest, and I must confess that I have seen very little lo change my origiiml impression.

Notice being given of a motion for an injunction, the caso came off this morning in tho Circuit Court at i'litladelphia, before the Hon. Judge Kane.

I From Whitney'a Republic for February MY flRANDFATHFR'B RECOLLECTION OF THR REVOLUTION. My memory does not serve me sumVicntly now, In enable me to locn'e facts; but t 'nonel, ntlerwiinUfien-oral Morgan, was dispatched by (ieueral Washington oti a very important mission, lhat required grent Inet, eiteruv, nuil speed. The purty wucntiiposed of ihirtv permitis, cIiosimi for ilieir well-tried bravery, tleelneas nf foot, and knowledge nf the surrounding country, one ot whom was my griiuoininer; noun waa particularly eujoiiietl upon Colonel Morgan not to lire uniler any circumstances, unless it was tor unavoidable sell du tenco, at it would have betrayed (ieiiernl Wndiington's position, (loucrul Washington was moving secretly upon the Urtliall army, and had planned one t if those bountiful surprises with which he so often astonished their skillful leaders, nml Colonel Morgan's duty wan to ascertain something which 1 have now forgniirn, but which was neresmiry lor the perlecliou of liia designs. The little band moved noiselessly from ihe American camp, tmasod the pickets, thendvniice sentinels, and disni'ieari'il in tho depth of the nearest forest toward the Uriiinh lines. Threading deep delilos, crawling along behind llio stunted bin he in barren plnres, wading through swamps nml ever si reams, nnd obeying their lender fiiiihhdly, who gave his co mm nnd a in a wisper, nnd aoineiiiues merely a sign, they ai rived al a point from which went centred their operations; and, closely concealed in n secret place, well known lo the party, and within imiakci -shot of the enemy's out (Mists, they watched every opHiriiinily to carry out (heir designs, and liually h it with the snme secresy, having billy accomplished their mission, Colonel Morgan lind renin led about three fourths or the way to ihe American heud-qunrters, and, feeling secure Itoin any surprise, had lelt the bushes, and taken to the public nnid, and was hurrying on in order lo reach dm camp ho lore night-fall, when won) was passed Irotn lliennr thai a party of red -con is was fob lowing. Immediately every man took to a tree, exa mined his priming, nml gnxod fixedly on llio advancing pnrty. Colonel Morgan scrutinized ibem nalhey mine on towards him, nod found thai ihey were about fitly in number, and were dragoons, with several lb-Id nth- cers nt llu'tr bend. I nun Ihe manner ol ilieir riding he concluded they were not aware of his presence but, having beard of the position of Jeueral Wnsliitui ton, were on their way to reconnoitre mid lenrn his plans. The men on leaving Ihe road hail taken to tin trees on each side, nnd as the horsemen m ared, betray (raved a feverish inclination In let fly nt I hem. The commands of (ieneral Washington hud been Inld I hem mid tlli'V Would hnve obevrd tit nil hnyalila. hut still instinctively each man leveled bis rille, steadied it ngainat a tree, over some tog, or reaied it in the crotch ol a bush, wllli the eye stemlily on tlie forward sight, nnd moving Ine hinty gently aroiiml as the ad-vaiicitiir f the Hi itish obliged a change of position In bring die rille in range. The party ol horsemen mine d nailing lorwnnl wilh uutck pace, their beniitilul inn forms nnd polinhod swords In strong con I rust with the I altered .dolhes and rualy rilles of Ihe rangers, enliven ing the landscape with their brilliant colors, and breaking the silence of the seeming solitude wilh dat- leruig of hoof's nnd voice in merriment. Colonel Morgan watcleil ilo-m with a look so intense, one might have thought he looked itito their very benrls ami told ilieir doom; and as they came nearer ami nearer, while ihe memory of his country's wroio's and "uttering came crowding on Ida mind, he scowled wilh a look ot detiaure and haired, thnt showed how deeply he felt fur every wound iullicled utHin her. He bunted to take vengeance upon them, but thn ftprrss order of Washington, not lo tire, rang in his ears, and he was powerles. He cast hit eves around upon hi lit-tla party ; a semUirtle uf bUvk-lmrrolwl rillvi pointW Uioir Iihir mii7.1on Inwnriln Die ndvunciitp Rritiali ; tlm men itiiuj mill na ilfiiili, and (lioir Inres wcropnlo with HiiHpfliitli-d duaire; licit n foot in lived, nor an ytdnnp-ed ita Intdiet; there oenied to be no tirt-alh, lint llio in tetiRH fju.e, like a atud uf glnsa, whr iixud Hliil ritd.

Ho had lii linnd upon a miutll roncli-aliell tlmt hunt; ly lii nido. with wliirh he ulwuyn f'iive I ho order tu lire, and liia fingers appeared to ilch, na ho clasped it more tightly. Tlie aieiiu grew mure and more exciting ; nnd, an he c.nt liia cyea over I J in little parly, nnd limn of (lie Jon oh of his nminlry'a oppreaaors, hardly could the orders ol' WuHhington withhold him Irom giving tlm fulttl command. Kvory man tired according tu nn inidoratoml rule, danger, never waite their lire by sevural aiming al thosiune murk, but, by a certain understanding, each aelcrti hii man. The party nf Bntiali hud now op-prone bed to within fifty yardi, and were all in lair view. Col. Morgan's excitement hail not in (lie lenat abated, nml the turn atill Rtnnd inotionleas, and with their deadly rilK-a atill pointed towHrda their foes. Their voice were perfectly diaiinct, nnd probably they might have been allowed to pat by iniiiioleHtetl, had not one of the officer, with a aneoring Inogli, Raid Hoinelhing derogalory to the trnlh nnd justice of the American people anil their came, when Colonel Morgan, no lnngor able to contend with his feelings, ipiickly applied the bIidII to hid lipa, and, almost simultaneously wilh tho note that rang from it, burnt the shrill, 'deathly cream from the ritlei, an if lirud by one man. Reloading instantly, another fire was poured into them, canning additional denlruotinn. Thirty mid' diet wore emptied, and thirty frightened nnd riderless horaon scoured through the woods, or, whirling, daah-ed in among the survivors, adding more cotilusion to llio panic. When those who had not been killed recovered somewhat, they immediately pot spurs to ea-cnpei hut the unfailing hall followed them, and but lew escaped to carry back the sad tidings of llinmnuc-eeasfiil ndventuro. After all had hecoino quiet, and the excitement passed Oolonel Morgan recollected with ngony the command of Washington, and he bowed liia head, grieved and ashamed; and I he men, feeling for iho commander, nnd knowing the exactness with which flenernl Washington always required the fulfillment of nn order, relieved themselves by starting in different directions to catch Ihe horses, and gathering the other booty together, prepared to return to caoip, only wailing the order to march. Without opening his lips, Morgan gave the signal and, on renching the camp, despatched nn ollirer to re port lo hend oiinrlers, and then sat down, apparently overwhelmed wilh the burden of his feelings.

Tho Missouri river, from the mouth of the Niobrnrn, (which stream is also known by the name ofEau-qui-coiir.or Ituuuing Water.) down to tho mouth of tho Kansas, crowds its waters against llio bhitla on the Nebraska shore, and from ihem o only occuiouidty shoots them off to the left, to take a turn through (lie broad bottoms which sirotch along upon tho opposite side. What are called bluffs may be, in other words, do-scribed an chaios of knolls and hills, presenting to the river, or the bottoms, whichever chnnco to lie nt their feet, abrupt face, which at some points are acclivities of several hundred feet. On the Iowa and Missouri side of the rivor, the bluffs nre mere cbiy-hills, standing at distances of from two to ton miles from tho brink of the stream; but these rise in picturesque forms, and wear a covering of prairie grass, which adds y really to tho beauty of ihe scenery.

Imi Hie scenery f the Nebraska is the beautiful, ihe lovely, Ihe ph:- tiirosquo nnd the agreeable. Nebraska is emphatically a prairie country, nud a paucity of timber which exists throughout ihe lerritory Hie only drawback that rests upon it. I lie prniries are limbertesH trncls of liiml covered with grass, which give them the diameter ot natural meadows and pas ture grounds. 'I he grasses ol tho prairie are ol lour kinds. The first is called reed-arass, and its growlh conlini'd to tho bottoms. It is the earliest lo come rth in the spring, nnd it Is ihe most hardy of the pranie grasses; but its slnlks are tall nud woody 111 re, nml its kuves coarse, and it nilords but utile nu triment to the animal stomach, when grown to maturity. Ita seed-hentla nro unlike any of the common iltivated grnins ol (he continent. A second kind (ol Inch I here is but a sparse growth, ) is found along me ilues of uroves of limber, and occasionally in the blulla, and this bears a leaf and iecd-hcnil resembling barley.

For pasturage ihe prnrie grass is equal lo nny of the iltivated grasses, only nud excepting lis liability to be allected by llio front.

Nor will the prairie grnaa hear close feeding. II a lii be oncinaod and iiaatured by a drove ol entile or flock of sheep, for two years, there will be but Ut ile or none of the prairie grass remaining. In such ases whnt is called blue grass usually makes its up aratico, mid tnltes the place ol the prairie grass. (Jr the gens, ho closely led without enclosure, (wnicli sometimes the case where the dried prairie class is tint hurund oil until the summer lias commenced, nud growth of young grass cornea up afterwards and at tracts the cattle from other portions of the prairie where the grnis has hecomo coarse nml bnrah,) I ho like results will be produced. It is apparent to the observer. Hint Hie prairies have, nt some previous lime, been as densely limbered nny 01 tlie lorest portions ot Ihe continent, and (tint the annual burning of Ihe dried grnan on the prniries, which has been continued by the Indians for time immemorial, hn been tho sole cause of ihe destruction of tho timlmr. Wherever the grass prevails there is no timber; but when ihe grass is destroyed tho limber oines up nl once, nnd grows thiillily. As tho crass crowds upon a 11 rove or slrip of tim ber, the timber recedes. The grass once grown ngainat the roots of 11 tree, its lirst burning heals and kills the linrk, ol a surface Irom ono lo several leet in ircu 111 fere nee, of lhat portion of llio ireo which mny chance to be within reach of the flumes of the burning grass.

Throui-hout the whole territory of Nebraska, it in true, there is a deficiency ol timber; but tiiu quantity winch now more exists, by mi economical use, may bo made quite atdlicient for a population of half a million, and bo rendered equal for all requisite purposes of such loimlntion, until timber ran bo grown in aiiundam which will only minim a few years lo clfoct.

All tho fervid imagery of ,alln Itookh ; Ihe fascinating splon-dor of Aiiastasina ; tho glowing eloquence of Km hen, fill the mind somehow or another with extraordinary anticipations; a glimmering 01 something unearthly; u forentiadowiiig ol Paradise. Ihe Harem becomes a chief ornament in this 1'nradise, nmt the perfumes of llowers, and the cooling spray of fountains, uud all the witcln ry of beauty and innocence reclining on soft I'ersinn rugi, fiivoluubirily crowd upon the mind. Ev ery yanhmack is supposed to cover the features of a (iul- tieyer or a IJiiuii; every grated window to shed light upon nn inner world ot beauty, the living and breath-1 tug realization of lhat voluptuous picture in Don something, (what a bore it is to forget names ; but you know that 1 don't rend mron,) that scene of tho sleeping beauties of ihe Harem, where innocent maiden dream of apples, and hoes, uud butterflies, and such things. IN ever was an tiiiforhuinte nduurer ol the sex worked tqi to such n pitch of eiithusinittic expectation ns your friend of ihe present writing. It was a purely I'lato. nic devotion to beauty, of course. Tho first thought upon touching Ihe romantic soil of Sbuubrul was of yashmachi, and dark Hushing eyes, and lorinsof angelic ntotir. ror a while I thought seriously ol shutting my eyes (he very first petticoat I should descry fluttering ill the breeze j but eyes are iiidiNpeiisnbln where tlie Artmi are continually bringing their buttering rums to bear on one's head. At. Inst a bevy of chattering damsels loomed 1111 in tliedistauce bearing down toward me. flood gracious, wind voicea! Tlie croaking of ravens would have been music to the coarse, masculine sounds that distracted mv ear. It was the tnosi barbarous gobbling if gutter.tls I have ever heard. Hlai'k eyes there were, to he sore, black enough nil round, even umler-nenlh; which was rather a dirty sort of blackness. I u yanhmaexs dropped necub'iiiiilly, ns tliey generally do when the observer is n Frank, and there lire no Turks near. Every vealigoof eiichniiliiieut vanished in a moment, I hero was not n single passable lace in the crowd. Til -ir features were coarse and sensual: the teeth disgustingly dark ; the costume slovenly mid unbecoming. As if conscience-smitten, nfter having exposed so much henuty to iididel eyes, they hastily drew the covering over their mouths, leaving the up per part 01 tne inco partially visible, and altogether denuding the breast. After they hod passed I turned ton ditleretit view, iu the faint hope of discovering some compensating attraction. Tho case was now still worse. As they drew up thetr loose clonks, and gathered around them sundry highly-colored nnd tawdry drapery, tho names of which it is impossible to remember, their bare legs glintened 11 lid ei neat h. buried over the ankle in yellow, slip-shod boots and slippers ; ami limy wumiien over the rough stones very much like n parcel of dm ks, making such awkwnril attempt at progress that it was quite distressing to see them. Surely the Turkish boots for females must have been devised by some clover fellow, who hnd ill view ihe imposibiliiy of their running away in thorn. It would bo unfair, perhaps, to judge of the whole sex from these specimen ; so I reserved my final jmlg-incut until I should see something more of Turkish beauty. Since then I have seen every variety (hut cmi between beyond llio sacred precincts of the Harem, from the highest to the lowest, and I must confess that I have seen very little lo change my origiiml impression. Whnt there may bo concealed in cages nml fed on enkea mid rose water, and never suffered lo be rudely kissed by the air that common morlals breathe, 1 do not know from peraoiml iptTiftn;e, bavllig never been In the domestic circle of a Turk in my life when (tie lailies were present; nor do I nniicipale the plenaiire soon, unless my friend, Abdul Mescbid, should hike it into his head lo invite nte to a family tca-pai ly, which is not likely, Let it not be supposed, however, lhat I entertain nny hoalib feeling townrds ihe Indies of Con-ilanlinople.

It then alluded briefly to tfie presence of several venerable men, and the demise, since Inst General Conference, of many 'if their follows. I hen followed a just nnd earnest eulogy on the late venerable Kishop lieddiiiL'. Ahuuie- Ihe imtiorlaht noiuts in ihe address were the following : 1. The (ieneral Conference is not strictly a lecisla- tive body ; it does not claim lo be a supreme leionln. live body in the church, but is only judicial nml nd-niiuistralive within the divine coiistiiuiion given in the lew testament. 2. That nu itinerant miii'slrv is a vital principle in llio M. K. Church, and must he preserved. It objects extending the lime ihnl a member of Conference mny remain in the same station or circuit, as pastor. It ulso objects lo any instructions to the Kndnum. look ing to confining ihem lor nny particular length of lime to ono portion of the work, ami advises mlheren -eto the present system of the minimi General Supcrinten- ncy.

It Hsksmul discusses the qttesiimi, whether Meth- Nsiii is as earnest and prosperous now nn in former i'nr ; and concludes that if we iudgo by the outward hurch, as seen existing iu the world, it is, nnd more but if we iud''o by tin) infernal evidence nf the life nud spirit ot its members, the question is douhtlul. says there is more worldly iiiiiideiluesn, more show dress, nouses nnd lumiluio than is consistent wuh op, internal prosperity. It nlludea in nnd deplores ihe growing neglect of class meeting nml prayer tings, and llio increasing neglect of Hie iidiniuislrn- tioii of discipline. U. Advisen the extension of the time of trial for en trance into the annual conference nn members, from two to four years.
